Motion Design Package for 5th A MAZE Awards

Takasaki Studio created for the 5th A MAZE Independent Games Festival in Berlin a Motion Design Package containing 3D-animated Intro, Lower Third, Nominee Trailer, Award Winning Trailer, Category Design, and Sound Design. The clients wish was to have a 3D-Animated Intro but with a Glitch-Look, as A MAZE stands for experimental and alternative game experiences.

Since 2012 A MAZE. awards The Most Amazing Game. The winner is selected by an interdisciplinary, international and 100% independent jury. 2014 A MAZE. extended the award to three categories and the audience award. 2015 we’ve introduced our fourth category the “Other Dimensions Award” which is dedicated to play in virtual reality. The trophy consists out of three independent elements: a pink silicone cube, a metal ball and a concrete socket. Thorsten S. Wiedemann, the artistic director of A MAZE. explains: “The pink silicon stands for interactivity and playfulness, the concrete socket for culture and meaning, and the embedded metal ball for connectivity and completeness.”

A MAZE established since 2008 is an international label in the field of independent and alternative games, playful media and games culture. Interdisciplinary, game-centered events and productions transcending media channels and cultures are the signature feature of A MAZE. Our portfolio includes the production of festivals, exhibitions, conferences, workshops, game showcases, game jams, artist in residence programmes and a magazine. A MAZE. interacts with their events in different creative scenes including Johannesburg/ South Africa, Rijeka/ Croatia, Cluj/ Romania, Ramallah/ Palastine, Moscow/ Russia and Berlin/ Germany. A MAZE. / Berlin in April and A MAZE. / Johannesburg in September are the annual festivals that highlights games beyond the mainstream.
